Analysis of mobile phone radiation effect on human body using specific absorption rate

Abstract

The use of mobile phones is rising everyday both in civic and rustic areas in Bangladesh. Every mobile phone disperses electromagnetic energy. This radiation or electromagnetic wave can penetrate into the human body. Specific absorption rate and change in temperature are the vital parameter to find the dominant effects assess on the human body. This paper explores the radiation impact of mobile phones. A mathematical equation is used to evaluate the local specific absorption rate and change in temperature at Skin, Fat, Bone, Brain, Eye, Muscle tissues at the frequency of 800MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2.5GHz, 2.6GHz, 3.4GHz, 3.5GHz, and 3.6GHz. The calculations are performed at different distances and exposure times of mobile phone. A simple radio frequency detection circuit has been designed to find the radiated power of different frequency. The highest specific absorption rate is calculated for skin, brain, eye tissue. Child tissue absorption rate is higher than the adult. When the radiated power of mobile phone is high the specific absorption rate for different tissue cross the safety limit. This paper also recommends the ways to diminish the effects of SAR. It is suggested that these methods will decrease the health risks. This work will be very helpful to understand the bad effect of using mobile phones and the way of reducing this effect.
